The Orcas Island Chamber Community Parade, scheduled for Saturday, July 3, will begin at 11 a.m.

The theme of this year’s parade is “Community in Action” and celebrates the people, organizations, and businesses who volunteer, donate, create and do so much for our community.

Grand Marshals are two people who have been community members in action for many years: Dick & Velma Doty. They’ve been a force on Orcas Island since their arrival in 1971.

This year the Chamber is providing cash prizes for the best floats in the parade. To be eligible for these prizes, floats need to be built on a vehicle, or towed behind one. The judges are looking for creativity, entertainment value, and representation of this year’s theme.

Parade entry forms are available from the Chamber office or from the Chamber website www.orcasislandchamber.com. Parade entry deadline is Saturday, June 26.
